After being shoved down into second place for one day and then sharing the lead with the Cubs for another—the first time in over a month the top of the National League had not been ex- clusively theirs—the Cards fought their way back into first place yesterday with | a double victory over the Pittsburgh | Pirates. one of their major rivals. Both games were tough ones, but under the leadership of John Leonard (Pepper) Martin, leading exhibitor of “gas house” vigor, and the venerable Jesse “Pop” Haines the Cardinals won, 2toland 4 to3.

HE Yankees, meanwhile, buried their closest rivals, the Boston Red Sox, under a landslide of blows to win a double-header, 10 to 5 and 6 to 3, and inereased their lead to 9'> games.

Going into the seventh a run behind, Stu Martin singled and Pepper brought him home with a triple, then scored the winning run on Joe Medwick’s fly. The Bucs got off ahead again in the second clash, but St. Louis got to Ralph Birkofer in the sixth and tied the score at 3-3. In the ninth a single and an error put Terry Moore on sec- i ond and “Wild Horse” Martin brought | in order to complete the quarter-final him in with a single. Grove Is Driven Out. N ADDITION to Gehrig's two homers —one in each game—the Yanks hammered five Boston pitchers for 22 hits, one a homer by Myril Hoag. They had to rally in the eighth inning of each contest to win, although they sheiled Lefty Grove out in the opener and did some hefty clouting against | Johnny Marcum in the afterpiece. Lefty Gomez also failed to go the route. The Giants got off to a four-run lead in the second. but failed to hold it as Hal Schumacher gave up 13 hits, four by Mickey Haslin. Mickey drove in Boston's winning run in the ninth after Tony Cuccinello had singled and advanced on Hal Lee's sacrifice. BENDER A GREAT BACK Ohio State Coach Calls Old Ace of Nebraska Best Ever. LINCOLN, Neb. (#).—Coach Fran- cls Schmidt of Ohio State rates Johnny Bender of Nebraska as the greatest backfielder he ever saw. “Bender played his last year at Nebraska more than 30 years ago, Schmidt says. “Since then I've looked at great foot ball players almost with- out number, but take my word for it there never was but one Bender.” o GERMANS ARE GENEROUS Order 16 Varieties of Chewing | Gum for Olympic Athletes.

BY BURTON HAWKINS, LIMAXING a series of minor changes over the last two years, the local Board of Edu- cation has all but killed public | nign school athletics with a series of regulations, which, among other things, | prohibits games to be scheduled with college freshman teams and reduces the age limit of schoolboy athletes b from 21 to 19 years. | The gradual disintegration of in- terhigh sports, predicted in these col- | umns many months ago, started with the so-called riot between Tech and Western foot ball teams two years ago at Central Stadium, which actually | was a fist ight—and nothing more— | between a few members of each team. | Since the time Birch E. Bayh was | imported from Indiana to assume con- trol of scholastic sports following that incident, foot ball games, formerly played at Central, now are contesied in every public high school stadium. Base ball games have been shifted from Eastern Stadium in the same manner. Limited to One Sport. BASKET BALL tilts, once played as doable-headers at Tech, now are played as single games in Roosevelt and Tech gyms. The latest program, | however, completely shatters the pres- tige which local schools have enjoyed in competition with crack college fresh- man clubs and virtually prohibits teams from competing in basket ball tourna- | ments in the future Scholastic athletes, and this does not include any one over 19 years of age effective on September 1, will be prohibited from participating in more than one sport a season, such as| base ball and track. Every athlete | must have the written consent of his parents and a certificate from a phy- sician attesting his physical fitness. A high school foot ball coach now must whip his squad into shape start- ing no sooner than the opening day of school. with four drills a week lasting not longer than one hour and a half | each. This would seem to pave the way for injuries, which long have been avoided in local competition due to the | pre-season training. which usually has | started immediately after Labor day. Bayh to Enforce Rules, 'OOT BALL teams must not play | more than eight games. basket | F | ball teams no more than 18 games, base ball teams no more than 12 games and track teams shall compete in no more than five meets. Central High School's University of Pennsylvania basket ball tournament winners of 1927 played 46 games, while Eastern took part in 34 games last sea- son. These quints generally are re- garded as the finest high school court teams ever produced here. Coaches now may look forward to properly preparing their athletes as follows: Base ball, two hours a day: track, one hour a day: foot ball and | basket ball, an hour and a half a day. | No coach may hold practice sessions more than four times a week. The new rule, passed quietly by the Board of Education, will be enforced by Bayh, who will take over the authority now held by the Board of Principals. Violation of the regula- tions will mean forfeiture of all games | during the perfod of infraction and players involved becoming ineligible for one year. BERLIN IS GENIAL HOST Amusement Places Will Remain | Open Later Than Usual. During the Olympic games, Berlin's places of amusement—hotels, restau- rants and shopping centers—will close much later than usual.
